He describes how he got involved through Joe Nemechek and prefers driving race trucks over cars due to the increased space and feeling of safety.

The host then climbs into the truck to demonstrate the generous cabin space.

Goal: Learn about Scott Dolfi's journey from NFL to NASCAR and his preference for race trucks.
